Videos on this piece
Notes on this piece Impossible translations is a series of works for acoustic instruments an simultaneous video, in which I try to establish a relationship between music and the outside world by means of a rather arbitrary translation of a non musical input (usually videos or still images) into a playable instrumental score.
Rather than works about synesthesia, they are works that try to force a relationship in order to put together two incompatible layers, about the paradox of an impossible music made possible through the materialization of its impossible translation.
This third piece series takes as departure point a sequence of images extracted from different situations: everyday work in the third world, protest movements, stock markets… Every image appears always with the same percussion sound. In this way, a double direction discourse emerges: from the real world images towards their percussive interpretation and from the musical sounds towards their contextualization in their surrounding world.
